Problem: When plugged in, the high E strings are much lower in volume than the other strings. This, on my 1-month old Martin J12-16GTE with factory installed Fishman under saddle pick up system which I use with my Fishman SoloAmp and Fishman Aura DI and effects. I had the saddle checked by the dealer, restrung.
Removing Fishman Sonitone Pickup Manual User Manual
Pickup wire, no less than. No.I recently removed the Fishman sonitone pickup from my G45 Standard. Procedure is pretty straight forward but I do have a few tips that may save Im not here to suggest this is a good or bad thing just that if you do it, these are things you may consider. With three models, the Presys, Presys+ and Presys Blend models, the compact sophisticated Presys system features Volume, Bass, Mid and Treble controls, a Phase switch, and a built-in tuner with LED display.

Had I done so I would not have removed the capo that was placed at the first fret, thus allowing the first string to unravel from its tuner post, making it difficult to rethread.Pillaging an E string from a spare set, I went about assembling the guitar, which required removing the neck from its pouch and attaching it to the body with four long screws, using the included mini screwdriver. Admittedly, the first thing I did upon unpacking the guitar was to not read the directions. This optional lightweight package can fold into a backpack, making it easy to transport the KLOS.
With 14 frets clear to the body, a slim 1-11/16-inch nut, 24-3/4-inch scale fretboard, and low action, I was able to perform single-string runs with ease. Speaking of headstock, I also appreciated that it’s placed at a zero angle to the neck, making it more durable than most.If you’re looking for a travel guitar that is easy to play, then the KLOS certainly fits the bill. This made finger manipulation of the tuners feel a little cramped, at least for me, but once in tune I was ready to rock.
Because of its small size, however, the KLOS has a narrow voice—not thin, but if you’re looking for big notes out of a small box, then you might be disappointed. Carbon fiber has a very clear and precise tone, and when I’m fingerpicking an alternating-bass blues tune on the KLOS, I can hear the bass as distinct notes, rather than percussive thuds. Also, the narrow string spacing at the saddle made fingerpicking feel a bit restrictive.Carbon-fiber guitars should not be judged on the same sonic merits as their wooden counterparts—just as a brass resonator guitar has its own sonic palette, so too does a carbon-fiber axe. Larger hands might feel a little cramped, though, given the neck’s tight quarters. Smaller hands will welcome the slim neck profile and ease of navigation.
My guess is that it would cut through nicely without being too piercing.Speaking of cutting through, when I adjusted the Fishman’s tone dial I was able to get a wide spectrum of sharpness and clarity through the treble strings, but that same control had little effect on the bass strings. I didn’t have the opportunity to use the guitar in a live setting, but I would be interested to hear how it matches with other instruments through a PA. I plugged the KLOS into a Schertler Jam 150 acoustic amplifier and found that the undersaddle pickup does a good job replicating the acoustic tones of the KLOS.
With a base price of $699 direct (or even cheaper, $599, without electronics), the KLOS is also a terrific buy for a U.S.-made carbon-fiber guitar—a typical example of which will set you back well over a grand—making it ideal for travel without worry. It may not have a big sound, but it plays impressively and compensates with electronics that can be tweaked to add more oomph in a live situation.
